I've got a little over 10k on mine so far, expect to get at least another 5k out of it..

Considering Commander 2s next change just to feel the difference, but not unhappy with the AEs.

I had 16,000 on my last rear. Tread depth was still good, but had a cupping issue. Changed front out at 20,000 due to same.

I went thru two sets on my 2011 ultra limited, 20k+ miles each set, the front and rear seem to wear at the same rate and don't cup any where near as much as the stock tires. Wet traction seems to be a little better as well.

28,000 on my last set, approaching 22,000 on the current set with plenty life still left. Keep my tire pressures at 36 / 40 psi.
